Excerpt from A Sermon Occasioned by the Death of Miss. Sarah Jane Fuller, Daughter of Mr. Moses Fuller, of Franklin: Preached in West Medway, January 23, 1859 The cup of which Christ here speaks, is the sufferings to which God the Father called him, in the sacrifice which he was about to make for a dying world. Judas had betrayed him to his enemies. A band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, with torches and lanterns, were now searching for him. And when Simon Peter saw their determination to lay hands upon his master, he drew his sword and cut off the right ear of the high-priest's servant. Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
